"The tickets are already on sale via Ticketmaster® Finland and more info about the event can be found from the Facebook events page.

“Also we will see some new faces from Norway and Iceland on our international field of competitors. We will also keep 1 spot open due a few top ladies have been injured and we leave the backdoor open incase some of them recovers in time for this competition,” said Rantanen.
